Lab Log: the lab is extra busy at the moment with not one, but two events coming up!

(Along side Wailing Willy listings all returning to rest: 2nd Nov (AEST) the shop will also be temp closed 6th Nov - 25th Nov. We will be taking stock + lots more to LoveX & Gear’d!)

[plotwholls]

The phrase “nap time until forever” is fabulous here are some alternatives I’ve thought of so it never gets old:

“nap time jail”

“forever time out”

“sleeping in the doghouse forever because that’s how long Clockwork says it’ll take for him to stop being mad”

“pulling a Snow White”

“pulling an Aurora”

“culturally appropriating sarcophaguses”

“unable to come to the phone due to chronic sleepy time”

“he would make an AWFUL Maleficent. He’s got none of the pizazz OR gender to get someone to take his curse”

“a coup-induced coma”

“put in solitary confinement”

“chronically the first person asleep at the sleepover”

“is sleeping on the equivalent of a couch in this metaphor… or is it in”

“git gotten nerve gear’d, and now he has to fight through all 100 floors of Aincrad before he can be freed, but honestly, when’s the last time you heard of someone beating EverQuest?”

“dude, just stop, he’s basically dead. And that’s saying something.”

Danny Phantom doesn’t want to be king.

And the Observants also don’t want him to be king.

Frankly, very VERY few people want him to be king, dead or alive.

But opening the sarcophagus, even if it’s closed NOW, disrupted some magic protections. Until those can be fixed, summoning spells need to be answered by SOMEONE. Not all of summons, just like—once a month or so. Because if they don’t let that power outlet happen, all of those summon magics build up and suddenly Pariah Dark reigns again. Answering the summon basically dispels the built up magic, like opening a dam.

Again, Danny doesn’t WANT to do this either, but everyone else involved is a bad choice. He won’t even be named prince, because THEN that implies he COULD be king. He needs a title, of some kind, a position in the court, no matter how tenuous, so he can do the thing. Something where no one in their right or even WRONG mind would think to try to kill him for the position or try to marry him or something equally annoying to deal with.

So.

He becomes the Ghost Court Jester.

He even gets a fancy little outfit upgrade when he’s summoned, all black and white bell hats and shoes, a stupid little ruffle collar and black parachute pants, even face paint with a tiny dot of glowing neon green at the tip of his nose. The works. Better yet, if he hasn’t been ‘unsummoned’, his human form is just the exact same costume with swapped colors. He can change into his normal outfits, but until that circle has been disrupted, the next summon, or the next full or new moon, he’s stuck into the outfit when he first transforms from either form.

The Phantom Jester, which is a title more intimidating than Danny appears to be if we are to be honest, cracks jokes and never, EVER takes the summons seriously.

“Listen, I just had to get my hours in and it’s the last day of the lunar month, you got lucky I came at all.”

“I got the position by virtue of not wanting to go to Time Jail for a crime I technically didn’t commit and technically probably won’t but, well, eyes are the beholder of the grudge or something else equally cryptic to make you mad.”

“Is this a slumber party? … do you have cake? Bummer. Well, enjoy the bleeding walls then.”

“Whether I help you or not is entirely dependent on how well of a run down you can give me on this book I have to read that I have not at all touched.”

“Explain the reason in three sentences or less. I suggest less. And if it’s stupid I’m hitting you—oh you think this circle can contain me? Haha. It won’t.”

“Is that chicken blood? Why?? What did the chickens do to you?”

There are props in his costume but he literally never knows what he’s gonna pull out of his sleeves. Danny can’t even do a balloon animal and knows exactly zero card tricks, which would be more of an issue if the cards weren’t the size of a dinner plate. He barely even juggles and he’s honestly probably just utilizing his rarely-used telekinetic powers, but he does give people flowers if they haven’t been a total jerk. And if those flowers are like, rare and have seeds for propagation, well… he literally wouldn’t know. No, really, he doesn’t. He gets summoned by at least two ecology departments and he has no idea why, I mean, if he had a nickel—

He also had pies and is NOT afraid to use them.

I’m really mad at the fact that Logan Paul out gear’d every wrestler on the show so far tonight. He ate down, I fear.

mutuals who have fate and metal gear’d tell me do kerry and otacon have any similar poor little meow meow attributes

[fuckyeahsnakus]

Here's a dark and morbid question: What if Samus were turned into a Beauty and The Beast Unit (from MGS IV's Beuty and the Beast Super Soldier Project) and Snake was forced to fight her?

You know there was once a fic written about this on FF.Net (that was a little boring to read) and I’d link it to you but the writer took it down.

Also I know you said morbid but you’re appealing to the concept artist in me so I did this:

I basically Metal Gear’d the SA-X. It’s like a mix between Crying Wolf’s exo-suit and a Gekko. I don’t know what she’d be called…

[autoplaysdigimon]

Whee! That one was fun!

It’s weird to think that was all a single episode, it felt like the fight with Frigimon and the fight with Matt onwards were seperate episodes. I guess that’s just a holdover from the ones at the beginning where a single Black Gear’d Digimon would show up, be defeated and that’d be the episode. This one had a couple of my minor buttons, like the blizzard and the fire in the cave, so I like it just based on those, haha.

As far as Derek Stephen Prince goes, as far as I can recall he’s never added to the credits this entire season, despite later voicing multiple characters, so his absence here doesn’t mean anything in The Great Mojyamon Conspiracy. It’s probably just an outlier from his usual voices, I guess.

I’ll see you later on for the next episode! FRIGIMOOOON!

We didn’t have a session this week but I forgot to do one for last week SO:

Last time on D&D:

A touching heartfelt moment with a fallen member of the Silver Oxes immediately turned to Jokes the moment the ghost was gone.

Unable to speak Gnollish, it seemed Vastalin would have been the weak link in a plan to scout a nearby gnolls base... until Celos helpfully forked over a magic item that would let him speak and understand it: a pair of enchanted thigh-highs.

despite initial complications, Vastalin successfully Metal Gear'd his way through the gnoll base to scout the thing out. When it became clear that fighting all of them would have been difficult, a different approach was taken:

The good, old-fashioned "disguise as the enemy while using undisguised party members as prisoners" ploy! It never fails!

And it STILL didn’t fail! They successfully got an audience with the head gnoll of the place, who instantly told them to drop the act one he got them in isolation.

Instead of having them killed, though, and hearing that they were the ones that killed the Tangerin, the gnoll leader instead ropes the party into helping him climb up the ranks in the army by pointing out a rival of his, initiating a nice “gather a bunch of allies” sidequest for us. You know, kill someone’s rival, get that person on your side, and thus get everyone beneath them on your side, too. We’ll need all the help we can get because we’re going up against A Literal Army.

In the meantime, Akumu!!! who had previously stayed behind! arrived on a caravan! much to EVERYONE’S surprise, especially his own upon seeing (and being fake-flirted with) Celos and everyone already there. It’s awkward.

The party is introduced to a pack of sand raptors that they’re going to use to cross the desert to seek out the assassination targets! Everyone hits their Animal Handling checks well to get the raptors under control except, ironically, Tsagani, who needs three tries before she manages to get the thing to listen to her.

The session is called early as the four ride off into the desert, towards their next mission...

thoughts

Saw @midnightactual make a post about Yoruichi, and while I won’t talk about the exact contents of the post as I think you should read it for yourself.

I will however say I agree.

I saw some reference to operational tempo and command. I cannot stress enough the importance of op. tempo in an actual operation. There’s a common saying in the military about ‘violence of action’, tempo, and audacity. These factors can be important to success of a mission especially one combat gear’d. 

Personally my memory is rather poor on some of the plot details of bleach but Midnight’s posts have been very informational. It definitely has opened my eyes to the importance of Yoruichi’s role in the series. Coming from someone with a background in the military, who can appreciate the multitude of command decisions Yoruichi makes- it’s god damn impressive. 

I’m sincerely of the opinion she could definitely qualify as captain-commander if she ever really cared about that. Her understanding of situations and ‘win conditions’ is... I respect it.

[krakenmonsterlab]

Our shops is now closed until the 25th of Nov!

We have some fun new pours to take with us to Love X & Gear’d, and will be finalising the date of Heinous & Angelous’s release after the events, and have more info on that soon!

So for now, please enjoy this sandworm Heinous.

“ ... Well, I was expectin’ somethin’ furry and cuter - but hey, I’m not too mad about it. The little guy’s adorable! ”

“ Yeah - seems like Gear’d agree with you there. Even if we’ll... probably never get him back. ”

“ You’re so cute oh my goodness! And you’re capable of harnessing electricity... there are so many possibilities with you, little buddy! ”

“ Ro! Roto!! ” Nepgear was hugging it quite a bit - but considering it was partly ghost-type, it seemed like it just didn’t mind. It was probably busy enough having fun using its static electricity to mess up her hair.

“ A Rotom! Definitely not expected - but neat! That’s a pretty rare one! Congrats for you guys! ”

“ It’s certainly... very unique. I’m certain I’ll be seeing more of this creature in the future, haha. Have you and Compa thought of a name for it? ”

“ ... No, we haven’t. We’re still thinking it over. ”

“ Then I’m callin’ it Sparky! Doesn’t gotta be fancy! ”

“ ... Sparky’s not too bad, actually. A simple name seems reasonable enough. ”
